Aaron Smith updates are always good and Lee Hopkins is always coming through on the trigger…
“The weather is finally cooperating on the east coast and the Boston sessions have begun. I’ve been busy riding the new ramp at the local park and getting to the city as much as possible. Other than that I’ve been working on the juice shop, @freshpressjuicebar and enjoying the nice weather after the brutal winter we had. Here’s a photo of a new spot we rode last weekend, shot by lee Hopkins. That’s all for now, hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.” – Aaron Smith

Matej Zan just got picked up as a Demolition distributor rider through our new distributor Evolution BMX. Evolution reps us as our new distributor for Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. They’re doing some big things out there, currently revamping their website, and they are great people. They just picked up Matej as their first Demolition distributor rider. He’s a clean, smooth, and tech freecoaster rider. Check out his brand new bike check and some smooth lines towards the end. I love the Mogwai sound track, Matej’s smooth lines, and the vibe of the whole thing….If you’re in the any of these countries looking for Demolition products, hit up Evolution or have your local shop hit them up for parts. For they’re contact info hit up our Distributor page here>>

When our own, Shono Koichi says we need to get an update with Ken Saito going asap, you listen! Unfortunately, Ken didn’t ride until recently since he got injured real bad while riding but just got back on the horse and already started shooting, and filming again. Be on the lookout for much more of Ken, his new edit should drop very soon. Wedge to bars photo by Takeru Ogura.

Matt took a big fall last December and has been staying busy off his bike for a bit but that hasn’t stopped him from shooting photos and filming his buds. He just got back on the ol’ horse and is already at his usual self (see photo above). Photo by Nathan Sykes
“In the beginning of December I got hurt resulting in a broken jaw and breaking my teeth from my jaw. During my down time I’ve been shooting lots of photos and filming a couple edits for some friends, just trying to pass my time. Finally 4 months later I’ve been released for some light riding. Recuperation is going good, I started riding about 2 weeks ago. The hardest part is being careful not to ride too hard and hit my face, my teeth are still a little loose so I’ve just been cruising getting back to the feel of things.” – Matt Cordova

Our man, Corey Walsh in Canada came down to SoCal to hang out, ride, and enjoy the nice weather we all take for granted. The other day he came by to visit us and ride the ramps. Couldn’t help but snap a couple shots of him while he was out back too. Check out more by hitting the top image.

Tyler Fernengel and extended family rider, Kevin Peraza are officially on the Vans pro team and busted ass in this new Welcome To Vans video.

“These guys are no stranger to riding Vans and we would officially like to welcome Tyler Fernengel, TJ Ellis and Kevin Peraza to the Vans BMX Pro team. There are heaps of road trips planned throughout the year so these guys are going to hit the ground running in waffle soles. Music: “The River” by People’s Temple” – Vans

When I hear about a BMX racer that made the transition to park, I immediately think of Kris Fox but later heard from our Canadian distributor, Killemall about a kid named Corey Walsh that has a similar background as Kris. Corey also has a very similar riding style too, which is going scary fast at everything, and having amazing good style. Huge thanks again goes out to our Canadian distributor, Killemall distribution for making this all happen and getting Corey on our Canadian team.

Boyd is the newest member of our Australian team through BMX Militia and we’re all super excited to have him onboard. He’s definitely one to watch out for, he’s insanely good and his bag of tricks goes deep! We just got up his team page with a lil’ interview HERE>>

Wow, huge congratulations to Hucker for taking home his 3rd straight Ride BMX NORA Cup for Dirt Rider of the Year and Tyler for winning his 1st Nora Cup for the Reader’s Choice award! Also, a shoutout to all the Markit crew for Markit Zero taking home Video of the Year. Cheers dudes!

We are stoked to announce that Ken Saito is the newest addition to our International Team. Ken is a young shredder from Japan that we’re sure you will be getting much more familiar with in the future. He has been on the mend from a pretty serious injury most of the year but our distributor Motocross International was able to put together a quick interview, some photos of Ken’s bike, and a couple awesome pre-injury riding shots. Check it out after the jump! Photos by: Y. Ogawa.

If you’ve been looking at the RIDEbmx Nora Cup award nominees, you’ll notice that Dennis Enarson has been up for almost all of them; Reader Choice, Video Part, Street Rider and Ramp Rider. Think that’s almost every damn category except for Flatland? To even get mentioned in these let alone getting nominated is a huge feat all on its own. Seeing Dennis grow firsthand over the years and how much he’s accomplished and has done has been pretty awesome to say the least. Photo by Ryan Scott

Christian just sent over this lil’ update from Malaysia:
I got the opportunity to come out to Malaysia and film with my Haro homies for a week and it’s been amazing! Endless laughs and good times have been had and I couldn’t be any happier that I came along! My Summer has been non stop but trips like this give my body time to heal and I get to have a lot of fun filming and hanging out too! It doesn’t get much better then that! Photo by Matthias Dandois

Connor’s DITL is actually pretty much point on to what he does daily. I know some guys try and add in stuff to make it a bit more entraining for the edit but Connor keeps it real with working on his whip, killing local parts, eating Mexican food and ending the day off with some frisbee gold. What a day! Credit: Doeby

Just got a cool update from our boy, Aaron Smith on what he’s been up to on and off his bike:“I’ve been super busy running The Fresh Press and riding as much as possible. Things are going really well with the business though, we have a ton of regulars already and new customers everyday. I haven’t been traveling as much as usual, but the weather has been amazing and Boston is my favorite place to ride anyways. Lee Hopkins snapped a couple photos from the past weekend cruising the city.” – Aaron Smith Hit more to see more.

Matt Cordova is one of those riders that when you see him ride you become a fan, no matter what kind of riding you’re into, the second you see him roast a double or a quarter and do whatever trick he wants bigger and steezier than anyone else you instantly become a Matt Cordova convert. Needless to say we here at Demolition are all huge Matt Cordova fans and are beyond stoked to have him part of the family! Welcome to the team Matt!!!

Thanks to the help of our Brazilian distributor, Dream Bikes, Douglas Leite is representing Demolition in Brazil. If you haven’t seen Douguete ride, he shreds everything and is known for blasting huge airs. Best of luck to Douguete at X Games next week and be on the look out for more from him in the future!

Anyone that knows Aaron Smith knows that he’s a health nut and he takes his special juices and nutrition very serious. He recently let me know that he’s opening his very own juice bar up in the Boston area and since I don’t know anything about juices/ smoothies, I was interested in hearing what he’s up to and his juices in general. Pic above is of Aaron barspinning into a steep ass bank right after downing a fresh smoothie. Pic by J.Cobbs. Good read, hit read more to read/ see it all.

Tyler has been making a name for himself in a big way in BMX the past couple years and there’s no question why. Tyler is an awesome example of determination, persistence, creativity, balls of steel, and humility to all young riders in the sport. It’s all these reasons and more why we are proud to announce Tyler as the newest pro rider on Demolition!

Stoked to announce that Will Gunn will be repping us in Australia through BMX Militia. If you don’t already know too much about Will, check out his last edit that was absolutely bonkers.

Be sure to check out his team page w/ his bio too. Pic by: Chris Benno

Check that out to see some awesome photos by Robin Pearson and find out a little more about Jordan. Stay tuned tomorrow for a quick teaser of our next UK rider to be announced later this week.

Our distributor in the UK, Elephant Distribution, has been making some big moves lately and doing a lot good things across the pond. Last Sunday they fully took advantage of the first dry day they had seen in weeks by building a box jump at their headquarters and inviting a bunch of friends over to ride and enjoy some hotdogs. Things like this are what we love about BMX. Be sure to keep an eye out next week as we are kicking off our Demolition UK Week. We’ll be announcing our new UK Team, dropping official Welcome Edits, and more. Huge thanks to Steve and Russell at Elephant for sending over the photos.

Sup Mates?! Ive been back in Australia for a month now enjoying the summer and missing the horrible cali winter! Instead of usually basing myself in Brisbane when i am home I have migrated to Melbourne for the summer. Its been sweet riding with new people i haven’t’t had a chance to before and taking in all the new spots and parks.

Ive been working on a Demolition edit out here that I was hoping to have done by xmas, but it hasn’t worked out too good yet! hoping to clip up more after the Xmas craziness and have it out early next year. Im filming with Cooper Brownlee, a Melb local so its good to have someone thats a keen filmer and to show me around!

The fine people over at the Albion did a cool new product feature called Dependables with Chris Doyle. “Like Trigger and his broom, we’ve all had parts that stand the test of time. Parts that have stood by us over years, unsurpassed by new models. Here Chris Doyle talks us through his five ‘game-changer’ BMX products that he trusts more than any other.” #4 is of Chris’ pivotal Anthem seat, be sure to check it out.

Erik Orgo is the newest addition to the Demolition International Family and we are all stoked to have him on board. Erik will be representing Demolition in Estonia, thanks to our distributor On Wheels. Fresh off a recent injury, he is currently working on a Welcome to the Family edit. So be on the look out for that and much more from Erik in the future. Thanks to Rene Lutterus, Anar Erik Katsar, and Anton Ardel for the photos.

Tyler recently made a quick stop off by at the office to get some new parts and shred the ramps with good buddy Brandon Dosch. As you can see, he’s doing better than expected coming back from his gnarly slam at Texas Toast. He’s kicking it at the Markit house now and I’m sure filming some nutty stuff with the crew. Expect big things to come from Tyler! Click top pic to see more.

One of my favorite videos of all time, Markit Zero went live last night on iTunes. Demolition riders, C.Lodes, D.Enarson, R.Wise, R.Napolitan and C.Rigal and the rest of the team absolutely killed it. Be sure to support one of the most badass teams in BMX by clicking that Buy Button HERE.

Proud to announce that Drew Hosselton scored this months RIDEbmx cover. Drew also has an interview in the same issue and I for one cannot wait to see everything he’s done for it. Knowing Drew, you know it’s gonna be full of original stuff we haven’t seen before and during 110 degree Arizona heat. Well deserved and couldn’t be more stoked him. Click image for the full cover.

We would like to Welcome Marcel Profittlich to the Demolition International Team. He will be representing Demolition in Germany thanks to our German distributor, La Finca Distribution. Marcel took it to the streets and local parks to put together this well rounded Welcome edit, that shows he can shred just about everything. Nice intro too, picking the Demolition goods over the girl! Check it out and look for a lot more from Marcel in the future.

Our Demo week has wrapped up at Woodward West and two of our favorite Demolition shredders weren’t able to make it to camp for all the fun. This time of year is always crazy for PRO riders so we hit up Aboy and Doyle to see what they’ve been getting into the last few weeks.

“What’s up guys? Doyle and I are currently on a Kink trip in Pittsburgh. We have been staying at his house and riding his local spots all week. Both of us were bummed we couldn’t make it out to Woodward west with the rest of the crew but we will be out there soon. Photos are from Boyce park shot by Tony Hamlin.” — Aboy

Most bmxers know what it’s like to get hurt or have a serious injury. Josh Perry on the other hand has had the most horrific one have done to him, which is brain surgery. If any of you that know someone that has gone through such a horrific operation knows just how gnarly it is and can be long term. Josh Perry has been there and came back 100%. You can see by this video above that his riding hasn’t been affected one bit, the dude shreds! Inspirational is an understatement.

SE Bikes and Dylan Pfohl teamed up to bring out this rad lil’ recovery video of Kris Fox. Kris has had a ton of coverage on his surgery and process of getting back but this one has him talking about the process. Hopefully you’ll get a more in-depth idea on what it’s like to get back after a big surgery after this one.

Kris came by to ride the ramps the other day to get his shred on and stretch out the ol’ limbs from being off his bike from his ACL surgery. Kris of course went mach 10 and went higher than most. If you follow him on his Instagram, I’m sure you already saw he’s been shredding everything already too. He’s back! Click pic to go BIG.

We would like to officially welcome Max Terrasson to the Demolition International Family with this Welcome to Demolition edit. Max will be representing us in France thanks to our French distributor EZCO Distribution. Max came through with some awesome clips for this edit, so be sure to check this one out and be on the look out for a lot more from Max in the future!

Kevin Peraza just sent in a bunch of sick pictures of him riding at the last FISE contest he went to and got third. Always love seeing how stretched and big he does every one of his tricks. He so f-n dialed. Click the top image to view the gallery. Pics by Johan Desma and Guillaume Decreux

If you been living under a rock and haven’t seen the new KINK video, Squash It I recommend you see it now. Especially when it’s FREE to get! Both Demolition riders, Chris Doyle and Aaron Smith have some of the best parts in there too. I don’t want to give anything away but one of Doyle’s highlights was this huuuuge ass fufanu (above). TCU just did a behind the scenes with Darryl Tocco, be sure to check it out HERE. Photo by: Jay Roe/ KINK

After Gabe being apart of the team for a year and a half we recently decided to part ways. Just wanted to thank Gabe Brooks being apart of the team, showing us those high ass hops, big supermans and letting me win in a game of basketball.

The guys over at SE just put up a cool injury interview with Kris. Be sure to check out what he’s been up to over on their site.
“I wont be 100%, but if I am on a bike in June I will be stoked. I am planning on taking it easy once I first come back and ride myself into better shape than I was before.” – Kris Fox

All around good guy, Kris Fox just got some bad news that he tore his ACL and meniscus while shredding the trails (pictured). Kris being the most positive guy I know, already is keeping a good outlook on it all and already can’t wait to get back to riding. Above pic is of all the homies (Kris, Matt Cordova and Victor Salazar) from our last shoot a month ago. Get well soon buddy!

Earlier this month, Glenn from QBMX came by the warehouse to meet up with Kris for a quick interview and catch a session on the ramps. QBMX just put up the interview, in which Kris talks about his racing background, why he made the transition from racing to park/trail riding, the recent QBMX/Demolition Northeast Trails Trip, and more. Kris also came through with a couple clips from the warehouse ramps. Check it out and while you’re at it, give Kris(@krisfoxbmx) and QBMX(@qbmx) a follow on Twitter and Instagram.

I am so stoked to be writing that our guys won the first Woodward West BMX Shootout. I can’t thank all our guys that went on the trip and not only killed it on their bikes but acted like a true professional to all the campers and staff at camp. Each and every one of these guys went above and beyond; Mike ‘Hucker’ Clark, Ronnie Napolitan, Dave Dillewaard, Chris Doyle, Rob Wise, Tate Roskelley, Aaron Smith, Connor Lodes, Russ Barone, Gabe Brooks and Kris Fox. Big thanks also goes to Joey Cobbs (Demolition Team Manager) for managing the whole thing with all the updates, riders, camp contests, pictures and etc. Also can’t forget our main man behind the video camera, Mike Mastroni. He put out an amazing video of our week at camp. Check out our video again HERE and thanks again for voting for us. See you guys next year at camp!

Our new Canadian rider, Jordane Dubois just got on and is already making big moves with this cool lil’ interview up at The Rise site. Pic by: Mikael Cardin. “I’m living a dream right now, my new bike is just perfect, so it feels good. I’m just proud to ride for a big company like Demolition and I just wish I get the chance to do some trips and maybe meet the awesome team.”- Jordane

When we were first introduced to Jordane Dubois’ riding, (through this video) we were floored by his style and amount of bike control. We can’t thank Harley and the 10Pack guys enough for getting Jordane on our Canadian team lineup and I’m sure you’ll be hearing a lot more about Jordane shortly. 10Pack just put up a bike check and a couple pics up on their site also, check em’ out HERE.

“We’re stoked to announce that Jordane Dubois is now riding for Demolition in addition to Verde! Jordane has been killing it for a while now and has been an awesome addition to our team and the dudes at Demolition are stoked on him as well. You can check out his new bike that he recently built up with a full parts list after the jump and keep an eye out for a little ‘Welcome to Demolition’ edit from Jordane soon. Big thanks to Mike Cardin for the amazing photos as usual!” TenPack Distribution. Follow Jordane on Instagram at: @jordanedubois. #greekstatue.

Seems like the contest/event of the year is Texas Toast and every pro rider is trying their best to make it out to take on the Gauntlet of Death, amazing trail section and their new regular street course. Since we’re a sponsor at this years event, we had a chance to have an obstacle that might take a few riders out. The Demolition bomb on springs will definitely make it rough to make it through for any rider. My guess is you have to haul ass over it or you might be in for. What Taj says in the above video is the best description ever regarding the contest, “I get a kick out of watching the best pro riders in the world fall on the most ridiculous obstacles I can dream up.”

It’s never a good day when we have to announce that a Demo rider is no longer going to be part of the team and today is no different. Unfortunately due to a series of recent actions and events we have decided to let Stevie Churchill go from Demolition Parts. Stevie has been on the team since he was sixteen and we truly regret the way in which our sponsorship with him has to end. We here at Demolition would like to thank Stevie for the time and effort he has given Demolition and wish him all the best in the future.

Jason sent us an update on some of the projects he’s working on and from the sounds of it he’s been on the move! Here is what he had to say.

“Yo dudes, just checking in,hope you all survived interbike. I was back in Canada for awhile this summer which was awesome. Im back home now and getting started on a split demolition edit with Biz and been filming for a Lotek edit as well. Here’s a pic from a project im working on with the one and only Mike Escamilla. hop in to slide ride to no hands-Photo by Mike Escamilla” – JE

Be sure to click the image so you can properly see and appreciate this crazy looking tuck no hander and be sure to check back to the site for updates on Jason’s split demo edit with his homie and yours, Ryan “Biz” Jordan.

Our Australian rider, Brendan Jones has been with us for 10 years now and has been a staple of the Australian scene for us down under. Aways stoked to see stuff of him, he’s got style for miles and is a super good dude too. He just sent over a couple pics of his new whip and the above t-bogs photo. Photos by: Alex Quirk. Hit more to see more.

Dave has been on the road in CO and just sent over this cool update and shot courtesy of our good bud, Chuck Fallon.
“Hey blokes! Just got done with a week long GT trip in Boulder CO. It was Rob Wise, Calvin Krey and I. We had our buddy Jeff as a tour guide and rode some sweet stuff during the week. It was mainly for a GT photoshoot but we had a GoPro on-hand and will be dropping a lil edit next week! Cheers- Dave

Aaron has been all over the world this year and we’re just getting into May! Luckily before his world tour began, we had a chance to get the camera out and snap this photo. Make sure to save it as your new wallpaper!

Dennis Enarson was out filming yesterday and broke his femur (thigh bone is the largest bone in your body). Just got off the phone with Christian, who was filming Dennis and said “he was doing a double suicide truck and went down hard.” He was just recovering from shoulder separation and was riding here at the ramps for the first time the other day. All this on his b-day of all days too. If you know Dennis, he’ll be back up and riding before you know if.

Mike “Hucker” Clark, has been off his bike for the past few months healing up from a recent knee injury. Upon receiving the bad news that Huck couldn’t ride for two months, he immediately started coming up with things to keep himself busy while on the mend. Hit the jump to see what our buddy Hucker gets into when it’s not BMX! Be sure to click on each image for info about the image.

From the looks of this photo I’m thinking Doyle had a good time in Japan on his recent trip with Kink Bike Co. This photo was seen over on the Kink site, I can’t believe the spots they got going over there! Awesome!

Connor is up in the bay area for a couple days shooting for an upcoming article in DigBMX magazine. Keep your eye for it cause you know if Connor has something to do with it, it will be sick!! Just wait till you see what he had for the spot behind him….

Recent Demolition recruit, Kris Fox, has a cool interview up on the PlusSizeBMX site, along with some sweet photos and a couple of web edits. Be sure to cruise over to the site and get to know Kris and all that he’s about right HERE.

Christian always has a dialed whip. He’s also pretty particular about his setup so if you’re interested in how a street assassin puts together his bike and how he gets the most street shredding performance out of it, then click over to Ride’s site, HERE, and check it!!

Rob has been in Australia hanging out with fellow Demo Pro, Dave Dillewaard, for most of the last two weeks and from the sounds of it they’ve been having a good time when not getting flooded out…. here is what Rob had to say;

Aus has been pretty awesome. Except the past while we’ve been fighting the weather. It’s been raining like no tomorrow. There was flash flood warnings there for a minute so that gives you an idea on how crazy the rain has been. It looks like the weather should be nice for the rest of the week so we can get back at it. – Rob

Dennis Enarson’s house, aka the Makrit house, has a photo gallery up on ESPN’s website. He lives with fellow Demolition Pros, Ronnie Napolitan, Christian Rigal, and Connor Lodes so with a crew like that you know it will be an interesting look into what those guys are getting into when they’re at home! CHECK IT HERE!

Chris has been in So. Cal. for the last couple of weeks and this last weekend banged out this amazing Fuse edit w/ Darryl Tocco at Mike Saavedra’s trails. Only Doyle can put together such an amazing trail edit all in one day. O’Doyle rules!

Connor threw together a new ride recently so we gave him the new Doyle stem to try out. I met up with him recently to see how he liked everything and he’s stoked! Click on the post to check the photos we shot.

While getting warmed up to film a clip for the upcoming Markit Zero video, Demolition’s own Ronnie Napolitan went down hard and fractured his elbow. He is making do with his cast and keeping his mood up by enjoying his french pressed coffee and playing left handed ping pong games with his homies! Get well soon Ronnie!!

Aaron “A-Boy” Smith came by with his homies (Ashley Charles, Jay Roe and John Rye) to shred the ramps and shoot some hoops. Couple losses and a win earned the man some new gear and a free meal for me. Thanks Aaron! Click pic to view the pics of the day… minus riding.

Demolition’s Christian Rigal knows his food, and when it comes to tacos forget about it! And since there are few things grosser than a bad taco, I asked Christian what to look for in a good taco and how to spot the bad ones… Try these out and you will be thanking him the next time you see him.

It’s rare to see a riders these days come into street/ ramps with a heavy race background. Few can pull it off and pull it off as well as Kris Fox. Whether it be riding ramps or dirt, Kris’ flow and speed is insane to watch. Check out the what I’m talking about in Kris’ latest SE edit HERE. Kris was just added to our flow team this week and came by to ride the ramps in celebration, haha. More to come very soon! Click pic to go BIG.

Dave Dillewaard is home in Australia for a few months riding and chilling with his family. He emailed me over an update for ya’ll.

“Hey people,
Hope everyone had a sweet Xmas and happy new year like I did! It’s been fun down in OZ hanging with the family and riding my local spots! Got a few lil things in the works while I’m out here to keep me busy which should be fun. Filming a few clips for the next 2020 Australia bmx mag with Troy “Big Salad”. Got a few today and here is a pic of a 180 whip from new to old at my local park Humpybong. Cheers” – Dillsy

A few years back I was in San Diego and it rained for a week! No one knew what the hell to do, so I figured I’d ask SD native and Demolition’s own Dennis Enarson what he does when the drops actually fall in San Diego.
